Using an Electric Screwdriver: The Good and the Bad

When it comes to using an electric screwdriver, there are times when you may find that it's too torquey, coming out too quickly or not tightening enough as desired. In these situations, a motorized screwdriver can actually become a normal screwdriver, providing a more precise and controlled experience. This is because the motorized screwdriver allows for a more subtle control over the speed and torque of the screwdriver, making it easier to tighten screws just right.

One common mistake that people make when using an electric screwdriver is trying to use it as if it were a normal screwdriver. However, this can lead to problems with the screwdriver's performance and safety. The correct way to use an electric screwdriver is to hold onto the handle firmly and apply gentle pressure, rather than trying to twist or turn the handle like you would with a manual screwdriver.

Using the Electric Screwdriver Effectively

In order to get the most out of your electric screwdriver, it's essential to understand how it works and use it correctly. One way to do this is to practice using the screwdriver on small projects, such as assembling a piece of furniture or fixing a loose screw. By getting a feel for the screwdriver's performance and learning how to control its speed and torque, you can become more confident and proficient in your use.

A Practical Example: Repairing an Old Sound Card

To demonstrate the effectiveness of using an electric screwdriver, let's take a look at a real-world example. In this case, we're repairing an old sound card that had developed some issues with its capacitors. The problem was that the screws were stuck and couldn't be turned with ease, making it difficult to access the components underneath. To solve this problem, we used an electric screwdriver to carefully loosen the screws, allowing us to remove the capacitors and replace them with new ones.

The Benefits of Using a Motorized Screwdriver

One of the main benefits of using a motorized screwdriver is its ability to provide precise control over the screwdriver's performance. Unlike manual screwdrivers, which can be difficult to control and may strip screws or damage surrounding materials, electric screwdrivers offer a more accurate and controlled experience.

In addition to providing greater precision and control, motorized screwdrivers also offer several other benefits, including increased speed and efficiency. By allowing users to work at faster speeds without sacrificing accuracy, motorized screwdrivers can significantly reduce the time it takes to complete tasks like assembling furniture or repairing equipment.

The Importance of Choosing the Right Tool for the Job

While electric screwdrivers are versatile tools that can be used for a variety of tasks, they're not always the best choice. In some situations, manual screwdrivers may be preferred due to their precision and control. However, in most cases, motorized screwdrivers offer several advantages over manual screwdrivers.

WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwelcome back everybody and thank you it's lovely that you guys are tuning in again um I want to kind of show something that's really cool but I also wanted to talk about a couple things really fast one you see this new rubberized silicon mat for doing uh repair work and stuff it's got magnetic uh spots for screws and neat little places to put stuff this is because I wanted something a little more appealing something I could see things clearly on and at the same time uh I'm gonna be doing a lot more Tech work I think moving forward a lot of projects here that need to get done so uh you know you'll see like the electric screwdriver and stuff like that but there's a really cool thing about this episode that cannot be ignored and guys I think you guys are really going to enjoy this one so if you're not subscribed sit back hit that button check this out foreign 390 Pros kit adjustable soldering clamp holder now there's a reason I've seen this in a video I was watching of this one guy who does a lot of repairs and it caught my attention so hard because this is the kind of thing that revolutionizes The Helping Hand uh so what we're going to do now is we're going to take this out we're going to uh build it and and I'm going to show why why it's so unique as you can see here of course a little bit of a giveaway uh so basically there's four different thickness holders Max clamp size 200 millimeter so I'm allowed to go up to 200 millimeter I believe uh wide and and high and there's a 360 degree rotation now that's where things get so much more important so the fact that we can turn the product is where it's all at because as we move forward the reason why I haven't done a lot of my Tucky Tucky stuff is it's so hard to hold the stuff I'm getting old now and it's hard to you know keep everything those Helping Hands Bend or annoying so let's unbox this build it find out what we got and hope that I'm happy so one really cool thing I get to test out the map by putting this together see see how that's all done so we have this lovely piece of toilet paper that allows us to kind of see what we're doing okay so basically and this is nice these are metal and the legs are metal so there's none of this you know cheap flimsy uh this part and this part here are plastic but that is about the extent of that so it looks like we have tightener missing right here there we go all right so one of the things they talk about of course well I'll use this one for this uh case is the four different sizes so here's one that feels like metal tip that is metal and then two three four so you have wide not so wide smaller and of course probably your normal PCB width right there so there's your four different sizes for clamping down as such now of course if you have it tight enough and there's a little bit of play not a big deal because you could clamp it to to do so so what I'm going to do now it looks like these have to screw onto these and it still slide along here so that's still got to go on here okay so I guess this actually gets to be used today we're going to change the tip I don't think I really need instructions to understand what's going on here but no one said I was smart either so here's the cool thing see magnetic this is pure awesomeness I guess I'll just take them all out right now I guess also too it transitions nice because now it's blue not black on black you know kind of loses its uh site really hope this makes me happy because this is one of those things that I've been looking for a solution and this could be just that so looks like those will line up there no issues oops foreign they have two holes on each side that you see here you're gonna screw into the same basic holes that were already that I took these screws out of now one thing and I'm gonna point you out John you talked about your electric screwdriver not being strong enough I'll explain something with that when you're using an electric screwdriver it might be too torquey coming out or not quite as tight going in that you were wishing it was when that happens a motorized screwdriver can actually become a normal screwdriver and tighten just like that yeah called you out on that one bro let's see if you hear that see the comments Below on that one CTS oh looks like I'm not quite there we go sometimes it's hard to take it off whatever but it's just if you don't touch the buttons literally this will torque either way as a normal screwdriver okay so here we have it now we have this unit uh tightened or built technically I guess oh we'll put it this way and have the logo proper all right so of course this will tighten this up from moving so it doesn't go anywhere now just give me a second so now it'll be held tight enough where you could do your soldering okay now I have it set pretty loose right now maybe I should move it in a bit there we go lock down all right so in this case this is a sound card maybe the Caps are going on it and as you can see these things are tiny like what a bit of work that would be but if I take it now and I flip it over to do the work which is just a matter of having the card put in a certain way that you're happy enough that it'll clear down below because I didn't do that right let me just uh scratch anything I put it pretty tight there we go all right so I put it so that's like at the edge basically so now you can see of course oh we had to work on here or something that's some weird discoloration on That Metal uh so now we flip it over and now we desolder any contacts for all these little capacitors are and now we can flip it back over put the capacitors back in flip back over spot solder clip you're done that is going to be a game changer when it comes to the channel moving forward so now we're going to take something a little bit more uh Biggers now the reason why I'm picking older stuff like this is because other than building certain projects most of the stuff that we're going to be doing is going to be older repairs and stuff on so this is a GeForce 6200 I believe that was actually a pretty uh pretty Fame card for a while so I would basically put it in move this over and the reason why I put it like this is you're gonna see why did I go all the way uh to one side more while I learned my lesson lock that down ah these caps are all bad so we're gonna flip this now we're gonna take out those caps drop them put new ones in flip it back over you get the idea and this is also good for numerous things so when I go to build my project Game Gear my new Sega Game Gear that has been custom done for me but I have to build it I need something to help my hands I think we got a winner so this isn't very expensive I'll put a link it's an Amazon affiliate link doesn't cost you anything extra but it will help the channel out and this in particular item uh I think it was 20 or under 20 so I mean and that's Canadian this is a very inexpensive way to help get the job done unlike those other Helping Hands I cannot work with them they're really wobbly and weird they don't hold the product like this like that is holding it solid so guys let me know what you think in the comments below um cool idea bad idea well up to you guys I mean if you are a tinkerer and someone that's looking to do a lot of soldering and want your hands free and Helping Hands you have just aren't helping well guys I would go and look at the sn390 adjustable soldering clamp holder from Pros kit Pro's kit hopefully the next time we see this thing I will be soldering and working in it uh but I just thought it would be a cool little video it's one of those things that came in put a smile on my face and today we all need smileswelcome back
